In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

In this activity, young learners go on a walk with caregivers and use their senses to observe nature with the help of scavenger hunt sheet.

This fun astronomy activity allows learners to experience finding stars in the night sky that will eventually go supernova. This activity is perfect for a star party outdoors.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners use their hands as tools for indirect measurement.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.
